POST GAME REPORT
Not the best game from Marcus Mariota, but the Titans came away with a win and guaranteed they keep total control of the AFC South. In a defensive battle, Jacksonville's Secondary excelled, while Tennessee's run defense excelled. Ultimately, this game was decided by the turnover battle. Blake Bortles threw two interceptions to Marcus Mariota's one. The pass game needs to be cleaned up a little bit heading into next week's game against the Raiders, but that shouldn't be a problem.

REGULAR SEASON WEEK 12
NEWS
Olivier Vernon re-signs with Dolphins on 4 Year, $20.6M Contract. Jason Pierre-Paul re-signs with Giants on 4 Year, $24.1M Contract. Bryan Anger re-signs with Jaguars on 6 Year, $17.9M Contract. Eli Manning re-signs with Giants on 1 Year, $15.8M Contract. Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo is the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Minnesota Vikings MLB Audie Cole is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Cincinnati Benfals QB Andy Dalton is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. New York Jets CB Antonio Cromartie is the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
KEY GAME STORYLINES
-Jacksonville has dropped to last in the division at 5-5. With the Titans sitting at 7-3, they still need to worry about the Colts and Texans, both at 6-4. The Titans need to keep their win streak alive in order to keep total control of the division another week.
-The Raiders are performing very poorly this season. A contender for the #1 Overall pick at 3-7 (Only 3 teams are 2-8), the Titans should be able to perform against this very unlucky franchise.
-Marcus Mariota did not perform well in the passing game last week, only managing 53 yards through the air. That needs to be cleaned up for the rest of the season and beyond.

POST GAME REPORT
A dominating performance from the Titans in this one. The defense stepped up, and held rookie wideout Amari Cooper to no catches. The offense fired on all cylinders as well, with Mariota throwing 3 touchdowns to just one pick, and David Cobb rushing for over 100 yards. Dorial Green-Beckham also hauled in his first NFL touchdown reception on a nice throw from Mariota to a post route. The Raiders only managed one touchdown, a garbage time rushing touchdown. The Titans will hope to keep this kind of play going for the rest of the season, including next week's matchup against the Jaguars, the second game against them in 3 weeks.

-The Jaguars will be missing Denard Robinson for this game. They will rely on T.J. Weldon for this game.
-After last week’s huge game from the Titans, Marcus Mariota looks to do the same he did last week, and stay as far away from his performance from two weeks ago as possible.

POST GAME REPORT
This was a huge game from both quarterbacks. Both Mariota and Bortles threw 5 touchdowns. Mariota threw for 489 yards and a pick on top of the touchdowns, and Bortles threw for 317 and no picks. Both running games, however, failed to produce any substantial numbers. The Titans essentially abandoned their running game in the second half and won the game on the hot hand of Mariota. Harry Douglas came through today, catching three of Mariota's 5 touchdowns. Both defenses played as well as they could with two white hot quarterbacks playing. Both stuffed the run game. The Titans defense came up in the clutch at the game, as they forced a Jaguars punt with 1:50 left in the game, which helped the Titans drive down and kick a last second field goal to come away with the game. The Titans started slow, both this game and to their season. The game ended with another win, while it looks like the Titans are headed to the playoffs. With just four games left on the schedule before the playoffs, the Titans will be at the Jets, then at the Patriots, then at home against the Texans, and finish the season at the Colts. If the Titans can win just enough of those games, they will make the playoffs, and have a chance at being a top seed and getting a first round bye.

REGULAR SEASON WEEK 14
NEWS
Andre Johnson is now 6th in all time receptions. Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Tampa Bay Buccaneers SS Bradley McDougald is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota is the AFC Offensive Playerof the Week. Buffalo Bills ROLB Randell Johnson is the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
KEY GAME STORYLINES
-With just the Texans two games behind in the division now, a Titans win will almost guarantee a playoff spot for the Titans. Riding a seven game win streak, the Titans take on the 3-9 Jets, a contender for the #1 Overall draft position.
-The Titans can barely move the ball on offense. And with the way the Titans offense played last week, it seems like this game is going to be very lopsided.
-The Jets are without four players in this game, CBs Dee Milliner and Antonio Cromartie, SS Marcus Gilchrist and RG James Carpenter. They do, however, have their entire defensive line, one of the best units in football. They also have Darrelle Revis, so it looks like Kendall Wright will be stuck on Revis Island all game.

How does Tennessee allow the Jaguars to score 38 points?? I don't know if I'm more confused at that for Madden realism, or if I'm more confused at how the Titans put up 41 points as well.
ANYWAYS 9-3 Titans leading their division... I think they need more than just 1 win to assure themselves a seed in the playoffs. If they were to end up 10-6 with just one more win on the season, the Colts and Jaguars could end up with the exact same record....
PS: Coming up with feedback on these is really hard lol. But I know you're truly enjoying this!!
